Description: Carries out mapping between assorted color spaces
including RGB, HSV, HLS, CIEXYZ, CIELUV, HCL (polar CIELUV),
CIELAB, and polar CIELAB. Qualitative, sequential, and
diverging color palettes based on HCL colors are provided along
with corresponding ggplot2 color scales. Color palette choice
is aided by an interactive app (with either a Tcl/Tk or a shiny
graphical user interface) and shiny apps with an HCL color
picker and a color vision deficiency emulator. Plotting
functions for displaying and assessing palettes include color
swatches, visualizations of the HCL space, and trajectories in
HCL and/or RGB spectrum. Color manipulation functions include:
desaturation, lightening/darkening, mixing, and simulation of
color vision deficiencies (deutanomaly, protanomaly,
tritanomaly). Details can be found on the project web page at
and in the
accompanying scientific paper: Zeileis et al. (2020, Journal of
Statistical Software, ).
